KENTUCKY LAKE MLF BFL #2 | LBL DIVISION ON LAKE BARKLEY | April 23, 2022

This is the second event in the Major League Fishing BFL LBL Division for the year. Launching out of Kentucky Dam Marina, I decided to make the run to Lake Barkley and try to get away from the crowds. During practice I found some key areas and was able to piece together what felt to be a good pattern. Tournament day, the fishing was great but I just struggled all day to find the right size bites. I would certainly like to go back and get to remake some decisions throughout the day but I definitely learned some good lessons that I'll keep in mind moving forward. There are three more events in the year so there is still plenty of time to set things right and make the cut to go to a Regionals event this fall!
